Why we can't read your files
Most clouds promise not to look at your files. Nuvola Drive encrypts them on your device before they ever leave it, so there's far less you have to take on trust. Here's the journey every file takes.
It's encrypted before it leaves
The moment you upload, your file is encrypted on your device with a key generated right there. What travels over the network is unreadable ciphertext.
The key stays with you
Your files are locked with keys that are themselves encrypted under your password. Decryption happens on your device. What our servers store is ciphertext.
Stored across a decentralized network
Your encrypted files are stored through decentralized storage (Vola Network) rather than one company's data center, and wherever they sit, they're ciphertext that no storage node can read.
You can verify it
As files are committed to the network, their storage is sealed onchain. Open any file's info panel to see its onchain status and proof. You don't have to take our word for it.
What that means for you
- Your file names and contents are encrypted before they reach us.
- A breach of our servers would expose ciphertext, not your files.
- Your files can't be scanned, profiled, or sold.
The honest trade-off
Only you hold the key, so your ways back in are your password, your recovery key, and your security answers. Lose all of them, and nobody, including us, can bring your files back. That's what real ownership costs. Keep your recovery key somewhere safe.
